Do you wander through this life
Like a child without a care
Do you fear the things you love
Do you seek the things you fear
When the world comes crashing down
Do you just smile and say
"I am the great pretender
Willing to dream forever"
Oh, I'll just float away
And let the waves keep pulling me in
I'll just hang out here
And watch the world pass over my head
Because, I'm still believing
All of the things you said
Are you searching for the truth
But all you come across is lies
Has someone sabotaged your route
Left all the answers in disguise
When the world comes crashing down
Do you just smile and say
"I am the great pretender
Willing to dream forever"
